Paradise Is

...where animals communicate
in ways we don't anticipate.

…where all their many words are heard
and they can make us feel absurd.

…where they will have the self-same rights	
as lowly humans in their "heights".

…where they don't have to bend heads low,
put on a base and servile show.

…where dogs can frolic without chains, 
horses are free from chafing reins.

…where no species is endangered
and each can live in its own herd.
